I was in the mood to write a bit and this popped into my mind.
The inn
Pug sat in the common room of the inn watching people. A young serving girl had been casting a spell upon the room. Cedric talked repeatedly about magic being a powerful force that carried a lot of danger. This girl was casting even more dangerous magic than of the old Wizard. She was casting desire. Most of the eyes watched her in a way that wanted to use her. Some were indifferent, but one watched those who watched her. The serving girl had curly blond hair that was tied on the back with a lace ribbon. She had perfect ringlets adorned the side of her head. Her hips were full and her blouse overflowed like the foam of the beer. Pug had been in the room watched the serving girl most of the evening. She had been flirting with the men all evening and she was being tipped well. One gave her a silver as he grabbed her bottom with the other hand pulling her into him. Another took a small coin purse tipped it into her top then gave her a few quick twists from side to side letting the coins fall out while enjoying the motion of her.
In Atana's mind brewed a storm, no boy ever looked at her that way or wanted to throw coins at her. She wanted to be wanted. Her sister had used the same magic in her home town and married a nice farmer. She wanted to be wanted, but not as an object. But she was too much of a tomboy for dresses and bows. She was not endowed enough to catch a young man's eye. She was much to independent to want to be owned, she was not property. Since her sister dressed her in men's clothing, even the serving girls have tried to flirt with her. Master Cedric, Pug's master was in a meeting with a trade group working on some deal of importing and exporting goods through the port. She had been sent out to the common room, so Pug watched the crowd. A couple times, Pug had stopped a pickpocket from lifting Cedric's purse or warned him about incoming danger. So pug and two off duty guards watched the room.
The waitress came over and bent at the waist trying to catch Pug's eye, “Can I get you something more?” she asked suggestively. Pug's coins had run out. When the serving girl looked up at Pug, She was looking at Pug in the eyes. With a little pout that he wasn't looking elsewhere, she rose. Hearing Cedric's voice, Pug rose quickly. Gently grabbing the serving girls head with her left hand pulling her head close and kissed her on her full lips. With the right hand, pug put a hand inside her blouse. To the room it looked as if Pug had just groped the girl while stealing a kiss. Using the ring knife, Pug cut the cords of her coin purse and palmed it into baggy sleeve. Pug gave her smile while stepping away. As she raised a hand to slap Pug as the farm boy that had been intently watching had crossed the room. With his right hand, he threw a punch. With a bit of a Jump with the punch, Pug crashed into the table and then on to the floor. The farm hand consoled the waitress as she tried to fix her blouse, tears streaming down her cheeks. Master Cedric came out of the meeting at the sound of the commotion to find Pug getting up with a swollen eye from the punch. The room erupting in laughter as Pug put on a bit of a show by staggering. A guard came over and dragged Pug out the door and into the waiting wagon.
After climbing up to the wagon bench and nodding at the guard to drive home. He asked, “So was it worth it?”
After a moment of thought, Pug smiled a deep smile and said, “Yes. Yes, it was.”
Cedric asked the questions all mentors ask, “And?”
“For a brief moment almost every man in the room wanted to be me, till the punch. They will be married by spring,” Pug said proud of himself. Cedric laughed as Pug rubbed his sore back and eye.
